《The undead who yearned for life》17-Endless fight
Advertisement
3° person point of view
The moment the window disappeared, the forest became a battlefield, no matter where you were, who you were or how big was your body, from that moment on you needed to kill without remorse and in the fastest speed you could, if not you just had to die for the survival of someone else.
Jack, similary to everyone else sprinted to the nearest enemy. Jack alertness was at his highest; given the speed he could arrive, he concluded that most, if not all of the anidead were faster than him, so if he wasn't careful, before his senses could notify him of the danger, his head would fall.
Reaching a wolf-like undead, Jack saw it jump in his direction, before he himself could even react, a panther undead snatched the wolf midair, by the time the panther touched the ground, jack made the rocks beneath it split, making the panther head straight down the new opened path; what happened after the rocks closed, could be easily understood from the rumors of breaking bones.
At this moment from behind jack appeared a double-headed serpent hals a meter large and who knows how long ready to pierce his fangs in whatever is in his path.
Without time to think an alarm ringed in Jack consciousness signaling him that this beat was very much out of his league, or that would have be if this battle was one on one; from the side a chimera came out from the foliage of the near tree, pounding on the serpent.
Jack used ki reinforcement and shadow claws at the same moment and sprinted towards the two beast, acting as the third part in order to gain benefits; in only thirty seconds Jack avoided dead fifteen times, while also damaging both of the opponents evenly while they fought between themselves.
At the key moment, when both of the beasts launched their final attack, Jack made earth spikes covered with the dark magic element spring from all around the two, impaling them and setting the outcome in stone.
Looking at the time, Jack understood that he had spent too much time on those two undeads, he now had less than thirteen minutes to kill another seven beasts, and this was while weak undeads were still around; the more the battle progressed, the stronger enemies would remain.

"invest all stat points evenly between strength, agility and stamina, what remains in wisdom" ordered Jack, and immediately he could fell himself grow more powerful, he knew he would need to strengthen himself if he wanted to have a minimal possibility of winning.
By the time Jack finished his power-up, a dark skeleton hand grabbed his ankle, while using that to bring itself up, the other hand tried to use one of its ribs to pierce through Jack defences and reach his core. In an instant the lesser ghoul used his claws to block the incoming blow while he used the fangs to rip apart the skeleton spine.
"never tried to eat skeletons before, they're rather crunchy"
Not even ten second passed that a three meters in height and two meters width undead unicorn came bulldozing though the jungle, running towards Jack; not surprisingly, the beast was already very damaged, so Jack simply went under its opponent with charge+ keeping his claws ready; at the right moment he jumped, simultaneously activating shadow claws and slicing right through the middle of the unicorn stomach.
Feeling the differents level up, Jack didn't even turn to see the gruesome scene, opting to continue his hunt, because he could see where the other undead beasts are, he directly went in that direction, but just before reaching his next victim, an unseen medium sized undead imp ambushed him.
The scratch on his troath made painfully clear to Jack that if he was even half a second slower, it would've resulted in his death, kicking a tree and activating charge+ Jack flung himself towards the imp, impaling it trough the hearth with his claws in a nearby tree.
Retracting his arm, Jack went back to the other life-sign that he saw before, but by the time he arrived, that life-sign was already been killed by another; without the slightest sign of retreat Jack activated charge+ again, hoping to surprise the enemy.
The hit was a success, Jack executed a killing blow from behind the undead boar piercing him with his whole arm.
Congratulation you d-
"Get the fuck out of my sight, this is not the moment"
Jack didn't even give the time to appear to the window, because he could feel the danger coming from behind him, and his arm was still inside the undead boar, immediately the lesser ghoul gave up on taking his arm out of the anidead, opting to use it as a lever in order to pull himself up, but thanks to that slight distraction, he still ended up with a piercing hit in his shoulder, though it was always better than the original target (his chest), it was quite painful.

Feeling whatever it was that pierced him get taken out, he used that moment to free his arm and jump from the top of the boar to the new enemy, a fucking undead horned rabbit, that probably got fortunate enough to be still alive in the middle of the chaos.
Taking care of it in less than five seconds, Jack looked at his injury: he will be unable to use his right arm from the next five minutes probably, hopefully less than that, but he wouldn't count on it; what's more, he still needed to kill two more beast in those four to five minutes.
"This is bad" realized Jack, he wouldn't be able to kill the more powerful undead with this kind of injury, so in this kind of moment the only thing he could do was to take a gamble; the lesser ghoul broke a part of the stone-plant and tossed it in his mouth, chewing it and gulping.
His reasoning was that because the plant was constantly growing, it meant that it was alive, and because what he just ate wasn't the fruit but a what one could consider the leaves, then he shouldn't get petrified.
Fortunately, what happened gave reason to him, because he started healing at a very fast rate, not even twenty seconds passed that he could already move his arm, though he could feel that now his body seemed heavier.
"It seems that even though the effect is less than petrification, if I eat more than this, there is the possibility of me turning into stone" calmly observed Jack.
Deciding that it was better to not eat anymore of this plant, Jack ran to the next target, and it seemed that was currently running towards him, what appeared was a two meters big fox undead who already suffered injuries; Jack feinted by activating shadow claws, and when the two of them were only five meters apart, he created a spike from earth, successfully impaling the anidead.
That would be it, but something ripped the fox from the inside out; it seemed that some kind of undead parasite had taken home in the undead fox stomach, and now that he killed it, the parasite had no choise but to come out.
Not wanting anything to do with this kind of lifeform, Jack instinctively created a ball of fire and shooted it to the parasite, successfully eliminating it.
Congratulat-
"again?" Jack eliminated the window from his sight as soon as it came out, but then appeared another one that he couldn't swipe out, because he had some seconds of breath, he started reading it.
Congratulations, if you're reading this, it means you surpassed the first twenty minutes of fight. While reading this you're put inside of a barrier, so don't worry about dangers.
From now on the barrier around the jungle will start shrink, so that you won't need to run around in search of someone to kill; no need to thank me, just have fun.
When you finish to read this message, the barrier will disappear, good luck.
From then on, Jack changed tactics and continued to run, no matter if he was ambushed or not; in this place where everyone knows where you are, mobility is a must, if you want to kill, do it in only one hit, if you see a battle, kill both of the anibeast as you pass or just kill-steal the weaker ones, if you can't kill, just continue to run; he only stopped if two strong undeads were killing each other, in that case he would act as the third party and reap profits (levels).
This was going to be a long day.

Note from the author: first chapter of real fighting, how was it? Should I change something?
Note from the author N°2: should I keep the name for the undead animals and beasts or it sounds ridiculus?

Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)
